[GNC] CMake error, GnuCash can't be built with the DESTDIR environment variable set on Windows, build on MINGW32

[Hai Liang Wang]

Get some related info with
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792884

So, I just
checked C:\gcdev64\gnucash\stable\build\gnucash-git\share\glib-2.0\schemas
on my machine.
It contains files
like, org.gnucash.GnuCash.deprecated.gschema.xml, gschemas.compiled, etc.
22 items totally and 283kb.

It seems the files are generated successfully.
Not know how to get along with *DESTDIR*, which seems to be the root cause
at my situation.

Cheers.
